      Pros

      Innovation as driving force, nothing is done unless it brings a clear betterment for the market and what workplace focus on sustainable growth There was a clear empowerement of the employees and care for their development, both personal and professional Customers were always the center of discussions and their inputs was actually taken into account Product quality is the imperative behind any invention and commercialization

      Cons

      some top management executives are old-fashioned Politics sometimes took over rational in terms of promotions No clear communication between departments

      Pros

      Bayer has a great brand in the US and globally Exciting to work in pharma and healthcare Overall good compensation and benefits package

      Cons

      Bureaucracy and centralization. I left the organization following the acquisition of Schering which was more decentralized and had jobs in the US with real responsibility. Bayer is very centralized and keeps the power in Germany which leaves little room for good managers who want to be creative and make a difference. What you're left with are people who want to hide in the bureaucracy, who won't take risks and who don't want to be held accountable. If you want to be a cog in the wheel this is the place for you, but if you want to go after big goals, be held accountable and really make a difference you should look somewhere else.
